England was the first one to the conference room. He always was. He occupied himself with drawing pictures of the attending countries on the board. He stood looking at the board, trying to remember who he had forgotten. There was China, Japan, France, himself,America, Russia, Germany and Italy. "I feel like someone's missing." He muttered to himself, staring at the board. "I'm being silly, I have gotten everyone." He dismissed it. That's when he heard the gun, then felt the paintball hit the back of his head, exploding in a burst of red paint.
In the hallway, China, Germany and Italy heard the retort, and took off running into the room. There they found England, lying in a heap on the floor, clutching the back of his head, dripping in what appeared to be blood. "England, what happened?" China gasped. " Are you alright?" Germany questioned. Italy hid behind Germany and said nothing. "Somebody shot me with a bloody paintball!" England shot quite bitterly. "Now there is paint all in my hair!" He shook the paint off his hand in disgust. "No way! You too, England?" America cried loudly as he entered the room, with Japan close behind. "What do you mean too?" England grouched. America hiked up his shirt to show off the circular bruise on his chest. "Some bastard shot Me in the chest with a paintball last night!" America complained. "Ja" Russia agreed, entering the room. He had a very bold red welt on his forehead. "No way!" America was amazed. "England I get, but they got you too, Russia?" Russia smiled and brandished his metal pipe. "hm?" "N-nothing!" America backtracked. "but seriously, this guy must have balls to mess with Russia. Hey, did you get a note too? " "Ja." Russia pulled out his note. America compared his note to Russia's. "They're the same, man!" England peered over their shoulders. "Hey! I don't get a note!" He stated, feeling somewhat offended. "Ah, England-san, on your back." Japan noticed, and gently pulled the note off his back. It too, had the same threatening message in it.
"If that had been a real bullet, you would be dead."
China clicked his tongue. "This is scary. Who could have done this?" "Germany, I'm scared!" Italy wined.
"That's what the meeting was called for, no?" Japan guided them back on course. Everyone took a seat.
"Wait a minute!" Germany exclaimed. Where's France?"
